1959 Fleer Ted Williams baseball cards

This special 80-card set from the Frank H. Fleer Company honors Ted Williams, "The Splendid Splinter." While other companies vied for Topps' exclusive player rights, Fleer successfully secured Ted Williams, who, nearing the end of his career, remained one of the best and most popular players.
"Teddy Ballgame" had a remarkable career, and the set captures many of his highlights, including his two Triple Crowns. He is still the last hitter to reach the .400 mark! Several popular cards feature Ted with other stars, including Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, football star Jim Thorpe, and golfer Sam Snead.
Of particular note is Card #68, "Ted Signs for 1959," which pictures him signing his contract. The photo also included Red Sox GM Bucky Harris, who was under one of those exclusive deals with Topps at the time. This led to the card being pulled, making it extremely scarce. Unfortunately, reprints of the card surfaced in the 1970s. This is widely considered the first baseball card to be reprinted/counterfeited. Interestingly, the counterfeits were allowed to remain on the market, so caution is advised when dealing with this card.
Cards were sold in both six-card and eight-card wax packs. For some reason, the scarcer 8-card packs contained no gum.

Are sports cards valuable ?

Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value, others go up and some can even become very valuable. Card values are based on many factors: player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest. A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.

Q: What are some ways to collect cards ? * Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears), players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George & Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)

"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue. On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
